bits of an healthy lifestyle

Green babes everywhere! I’ve moved the plant nursery from my bedroom to the kitchen, and all I can say is that they all love their new spot! Here are living mama Spathi and one of her babies, two Schaefflera cuttings (one has finally rooted!) succulent leaves propagating, two strings of pearls and a baby avocado tree- made some guacamole yesterday and added two seeds in water 🙂 I also have a dozen of sunflowers growing in the livingroom ! There’s so much learning, it takes patience and daily care to grow happy plants! Growing greens is my favorite hobby besides fitness and it brings me so much peace and smiles, I love it:)

I. Am. Tired. Like, awfully tired. It’s how it feels when you’ve finished your first day back to work right ? : ) But it was nonetheless a very good day, I was in a great mood and it’s all that matters. I’ve been feeling well lately and it shows ! I don’t stress that easily anymore, I smile and laugh more, and it’s becoming a virtuous circle. I appreciate that, I’ve been feeling down for long so it’s like sunshine after rain : ) went home for 30min crazy cardio, then FOOOOOOOOOD then bed. That’s all. Not a single thing more !

I’m done! I’ve worked back today at the gym, they got a new machine that looks like this ! So I had to give it a try and then did my usual back moves. It’s been a few times now that I train at 12-1pm instead of 6-8pm and I must say it’s way calmer, fewer people and mostly people on work break, whereas in the evening it’s more like “afterclass sweat party”. So I think I’ll try to keep this midday workout schedule for a bit longer 🙂

A few days ago, on my way to grocery shopping, I’ve noticed our former city hospital was being destructed. It’s been empty for years, and Solen and I once did a shooting there. I remember this day as one of the best photo session we ever had, we were a bit scared of the atmosphere there and afraid of eventual zombies we would disturb 🙂 But it remains in my head as a very special day, where fabulous pictures have been taken (including the one above). So I was somehow sad to see the engines bringing the walls down, and happy that we took the opportunity to shoot there back then, before this place simply disappears forever.

Tomorrow I’ll pick my lil sis and we’ll visit our parents, we haven’t had the time to celebrate Mother’s Day so we’re doing it this weekend ! I will also meet a friend, a very special one to me… I’m sure this weekend will be so full of love and laughs 🙂

Oh my… It’s a big thing for me to post pictures of me with bare legs. Like, even going out dressed like this was weird. I’ve never been comfy with short shorts and skirts, but at the sime time I’ve always wanted to dare wearing it. So I just did! And honestly I love these pictures even more because these are the very first you can see my legs in. Of course there are pictures of me in underwear but I’m alone at home, control the angles and show just what I want. Here I was moving and not controlling anything bout angles and how it would look. And I just love the result of me just living life! One step at a time toward embracing myself!

Oh my it was soooo well-needed ! I came back to the gym yesterday, mostly playing with the new stuff and getting my first real sweat in months! I woke up sore as you can imagine, and I love that! It motivated me so much I had to go back today. I kept my headstand with no support for more than a minute, even better than before injury but I’m getting very precautionous with inversions now. I’m just so happy to be back and active again!

Hi dears! Nearly a month since I last posted, time flies so fast! Not much has happened though but I am a bit sad I haven’t kept up documenting 🙂 I’ve been a bit off the gym too, because I felt like at-home yoga was what my body needed, and I clearly wanted a break from there, it just happens sometimes and it’s totally right ! But on the other side, I may have eaten a bit too much of unhealthy stuff, candies, and everything I passed by… Nothing to worry either, but I’d better come back on track soon! Which won’t be easy this time… Or at least, not immediately. Last friday I went on my little yoga routine and I like it to be a bit acrobatic ♥ So I laid the camera on my desk and started the flow on my favorite meditation music… Then went in for the tripod pose, left my legs, aimed at touching the wall behind me with my toes, and forgot I was waaaaay too far from the wall to touch it. I fell hardly backwards on the floor and my neck stayed still, so it cracked. Hard. It’s seriously a noise I am not comfy with, wether it’s people craking their back or fingers, but it was worse feeling it in my neck! I was brought to the ER and sent back home, but yesterday and today it just didn’t feel quite good, the left side of my neck, from my ear to shoulder blade was aching. So I went back to the doctor today and I have a cervical sprain which requires total rest, a neck brace for a month and also some physiotherapy. Lesson learned: warm up PROPERLY before any kind of physical activity and FOCUS on what your doing (espacially if you’re going upside down). It’s when you can’t have something that you miss it most, so I’m here daydreaming of a gym session ! So now I’ll be focusing on diet and providing you allllll the little pretty recipes I can find for you guys 🙂 See you very soon !

Hey y’all! I really hope you are going real fine 🙂 I’ve been off here for quite a while, but I just figured out I have so many insolved issues I’ve carried for so long and make me a bit unhappy in life. I’ve decided to kick my ass once and for all and let go of all that. Leave all the bad behind, close the page, end the chapter, burn the book. I want to be happier. But it takes a long of time and it needs also a lot of personal work, that’s why I prefered not posting and resting my mind for a while. But hey! Now I am here and it’s all that matters! 🙂 As I posted on IG, I promised myself publicly to go to the gym today, and by posting it on IG I had tokeep that promise!! (nice self trick) I did not forget my camera so I’ve captured some pictures of this session. I felt so strong afterwards and refreshed, honeslty working out is a super remedy ! ♥ I’m sending love loaded vibes to you all and wish you a very nice and to this weekend ♥
